Yesterday, Mrs. Hawkins said goodbye to her students as they headed home. She put Alice safely back in her enclosure and then went to the cafeteria to grab an afternoon snack. When she came back 20 minutes later she noticed...Alice was gone! To limit the suspect possibilities, Ms. Hawkins has narrowed the suspects to four-all current students of hers.
